Walter Isaacson, the CEO of the Aspen Institute, has been ch airman of CNN and the managing editor of Time magazine. He is the author of Benjamin Franklin: An American Life and of Kissinger: A Biography, and the coauthor of The Wise Men: Six Friends and the World They Made. He lives in Washington, D.C., with his wife and daughter.
Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.
At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, and when societies around the world are trying to build digital-age economies, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering.
Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing off-limits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted.
Driven by demons, Jobs could drive those around him to fury and despair. But his personality and products were interrelated, just as Apple’s hardware and software tended to be, as if part of an integrated system. His tale is instructive and cautionary, filled with lessons about innovation, character, leadership, and values.
这就是一部硅谷的历史书,它不只是人物传记。那是一个多么神奇的时代,看着牙痒痒的过瘾,恨不得跳进去做个决定。 很难说人是主角还是时代是主角; 那些真正的英雄们,只一起出现在那个特殊年代,他们也将消失在后面的各种岁月,关键是他们给世界带来了什么。下一次,这么多伟...

评分让我深受启发的几点: 1.不空等 乔布斯年轻时,他要是想要某样工具来造点什么东西的时候,他会直接去找源头要。 他回忆起在12岁的时候,他想要造一个计频器,于是直接在电话簿里找到了HP的创始人Bill Hewlett,找他要了那些零件。 2.打造自己的现实 乔布斯很早就懂得,要是...
评分我花了两个礼拜,读毕乔布斯传,完成了一次对乔布斯认识的蜕变。读之前,我以为他天赋异秉,十分牛逼;读之后,我依然认为他天赋异秉,但只是比较牛逼。 我从来不是个果粉,没有用过一件苹果的产品,最主要的原因不是我志存高远,而是我没有钱,也许我牛逼了之后会拿苹果装逼,...
评分2005年乔布斯在斯坦福大学的毕业典礼上发表了一篇演讲,当时他已经确症胰腺癌,那片演讲稿温情真诚,他用三个小故事提醒对面的孩子们不忘初心,向死而生,stay hungry,stay foolish。 其中一个小故事是他被苹果解聘,一家公司的创始人最后被这家公司解聘了,换做别人,这辈子...
终于读完了!
评分终于读完了!
评分一向喜欢偏执狂的故事,自是不能错过这部传记。此书不啻为硅谷发展简史,其中皮克斯相关内容在我最感兴趣。
评分好看,在考虑把 Walter Isaacson其他几部传记也找来看看
评分好看
